Rob grew up in South Florida, where daily afternoon storms and hurricanes piqued his interest in meteorology early on. That interest was fostered by his teachers and his father, who one time brought him onto the roof of their home to watch a funnel cloud move through the Everglades several miles away. Years of filmmaking and tv production in high school gradually pushed him toward broadcast meteorology at Florida State University, where he joined and eventually led the student run daily weather show. After graduating with a Bachelors of Science in Meteorology, he began his career at KESQ in Palm Springs, California before heading to KFSN in Fresno and WLOS in Asheville, North Carolina. He has covered a diverse array of extreme weather events, including haboobs and flash flooding in the desert, extreme snow in the Sierra, hurricanes, and Appalachian ice storms. He also enjoys telling stories and reporting about weather issues.

Record heat has been the story for the Lone Star State this week, with multiple records falling on Wednesday and Thursday. Additional record high temperatures are expected Friday and Saturday before the coldest air of the season (so far) arrives this weekend! <img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/1-1762486069442.png">A strong upper-level low will help to drive multiple cold fronts across the country this weekend into early next week. This will send sub-arctic air rushing south from Canada toward the Gulf.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/Screenshot 2025-11-07 065447-1762523813611.png">Monday and Tuesday's lows will plummet into the 20s, 30s, and 40s all the way to the Gulf &amp; Florida! Numerous frost and freeze alerts will be issued ahead of the coldest air - protect sensitive plants!<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/Screenshot 2025-11-07 065923-1762525051464.png"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/Screenshot 2025-11-07 065934-1762525060111.png">Get forecast details for your section of the country with our regional forecasts, which air at :10, :30, and :50 past the hour from east to west.

Karissa is the Director of On-Air Operations at WeatherNation. Karissa grew up loving math and science, but really fell in love with Meteorology while attending the College of DuPage in Glen Ellyn, Illinois. After two summers of storm chasing in the central plains, she knew that it was the career path for her. Standing in front of a thunderstorm and feeling the cool outflow knock her over was an experience she will never forget. After two years at COD, she transferred to Metropolitan State University of Denver. Karissa graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelors of Science in Meteorology. Her high school and college speech and meteorology professors were extremely supportive and pushed her to succeed. Before joining the WeatherNation team, she previously worked as the Morning Meteorologist at KCAU-TV in Sioux City, Iowa and at WMBD-TV in Peoria, IL. She recently was part of a National Edward R. Murrow award winning team for breaking news for their coverage of the EF-4 tornado in Washington, Illinois. In her free time, Karissa enjoys cooking and trying new foods. She is a self proclaimed 'TV Junkie' who can get into just about any show. She is a die hard Chicago sports fan who loves attending professional sporting events.

The next front will dive from the northern plains to the northeast this weekend. Early Saturday will see a mix of rain and snow with chilly morning lows. Once the sun comes up, most of the precipitation will fall as rain through the afternoon. Chicago, Milwaukee and Detroit should be on the lookout for a few flurries mixing in once the sun goes down. While the predominant precip type should be rain, overnight lows near freezing into Sunday morning could allow for some accumulation in Michigan, Indiana and Ohio.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/baaaams-1762546447438.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><h2>Snow Models</h2>Snowfall totals should be mostly less than an inch, especially considering still warm ground temperatures. A few spots in northwest Iowa and near northwest Ohio (where heaviest precip potential matches up with the coldest time of day) could see a soggy inch or two.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/Screenshot20251107131104png-1762546268237.png">Afternoon highs will struggle to warm out of the 30s for most areas impacted by the precip. Keep in mind, another feature of quick systems like these is gusty winds. With wind gusts 20-30mph, it's going to feel even cooler.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/Screenshot 2025-11-07 132101-1762546876568.png">Even colder air is expected next week as an <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.weathernationtv.com/news/record-warmth-possible-from-nevada-to-texas">arctic blast brings the coldest air of the season to many parts of the south central and southeastern U.S.</a>For more information, be sure to join us on WeatherNation at :30 past the hour for your Central Regional Forecast.

Secondary severe weather season is underway across the U.S. - so called because it typically pales in comparison to the primary severe weather season in the spring. However, the fall can provide high-end severe weather threats of its own, including the December 2021 tornado outbreak. Thankfully, the severe weather setup for now through Sunday doesn't look to be on the high-end, but a few scattered severe storms will be possible.<hr><h1>Severe Storm Outlooks/Hazards</h1>Early morning severe storms will be possible along the cold front driving south. Large hail and damaging winds will be possible with any severe storms and the severe risk should diminish by sunrise.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/PIC 2-1762564233131.jpg">The threat for isolated severe storms will continue Saturday into Sunday as the cold front is dragged through the south. Check back in with us online or on air for an updated forecast.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/Screenshot 2025-11-07 044714-1762516046220.png">Overnight storms are possible, but the severe threat goes down Saturday before it returns to the Southeast on Sunday. Areas along the Atlantic Coast should be weather aware for Sunday.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/FORECAST-1762564282904.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><h2></h2>

A series of atmospheric rivers has been responsible for wet, windy, and snowy weather in the northwestern U.S over the last few weeks. Our system is currently moving through Washington, Oregon, and the northern tier of California, bringing heavy rainfall and snow. Above is the forecast rainfall totals for the next several days. Gold Beach in Oregon has already picked up 2.51" of rainfall in the past 24 hours.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/Web1-1762440546220.png">With multiple inches of rain on the way, the Weather Prediction Center is monitoring coastal areas at a level 1, MARGINAL, risk for excessive rainfall that may lead to flash flooding.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/Screenshot 2025-11-05 095854-1762361963192.png"><h2>Timing</h2>Precipitation across the Northwest should continue for the next few hours.

While Atlantic activity is taking a hiatus, the Eastern Pacific is in a period of high activity, with multiple tropical waves and Hurricane Gilma. Tropical Storm Hone has formed in the Central Pacific. Hawaii is expected to see impacts by Sunday. Whether those impacts are direct or not is still to be determined. Large swells, gusty winds, and heavy rain appear likely.

Gilma rapidly intensified on August 21 to 110 mph, from 70 mph just 24 hours before. Rapid intensification happens when a storm strengthens at 35 mph in 24 hours, in Gilma's case. It is forecast to maintain it's strength for a day or two before starting a gradual weakening trend. Hawaii should also monitor the progress of Gilma into next week.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2024/08/1-1724364876844.png"> The global American model, GFS, shows the parade of storms marching west through the Pacific.
